Summer Morning Family Photoshoot in Palo Cedro, California

Families

It was such a pleasure getting to meet the O’Neill family!! They came from all over for a special 60th Birthday vacation for Tami! What a wonderful gift to have all your kids and their families together for a whole weekend. The vacation rental they secured in Palo Cedro was beautiful!! The brick steps leading up to the front porch were so pretty, along with the side pathway and the ivy growing on the garage wall. 

Family Session including the Family Dog

It was so fun to include Jack (the beautiful Queensland Heeler) in a few of the photos! You never know if you’re going to get “the shot” with pets looking at the camera too, but we got it! At the end of the session I got to capture all the kiddos playing with bubbles which was so much fun. 😀 You could tell that this sweet family loves to be together and spend time outdoors. 

O’Neill Family, it was an honor meeting you all and capturing your sweet family together! I hope our paths cross again in the future. God bless!!

A FATHER AND HIS CHILDREN AT TURTLE BAY

Meet the Hampton Family! I had such a great time capturing these family photos for them. We met at the Turtle Bay Gardens in Redding, California on a beautiful Saturday morning. The soft glowy light that seeped through the trees was absolutely stunning! This was their first professional family session and they totally rocked it. They were naturals!

OUR BIG FAMILY 2022

You guys…WE DID IT! We got our entire family together for portraits! It was no easy feat, let me tell you. Haha! But with the use of a sturdy tripod and a good checklist of all the shots we needed to capture, it was a success. We also buffered in some extra time to play with my dad’s 1957 Ford Car and my Brother-in-law’s Bobcat excavator!
